Tea sorting
Enhancing Tea sorting efficiency with Meyer advanced sorting technology
Improve Tea sorting quality and increase throughput
Tea optical sorting process
Sorting tea and other delicate materials, such as hibiscus, nettle, or mint leaves, requires precise tools and specialized knowledge. With years of experience and advanced technological solutions, MEYER offers machines that effectively classify tea leaves based on their color, shape, and other distinctive characteristics. The optical sorters are also capable of detecting and removing contaminants such as sticks, insects, and damaged or discolored leaves and stems.

Benefits of using Tea sorting machines
Increased purity and quality
Optical sorters can detect and remove discolored materials, foreign materials, and defects such as stones, sticks, or damaged grains. This results in higher purity and quality of the final Tea product, meeting consumer and market standards.
Better Efficiency and Throughput
Optical sorting technology allows for the processing of large volumes of Tea quickly and accurately, significantly improving throughput compared to manual sorting methods.
Reduced Labor Costs
Automated sorting reduces the need for manual labor, leading to cost savings and reduced human error in the sorting process.
Improved Product Value
Higher quality and purity of sorted Tea can lead to better market prices and customer satisfaction.
Versatility and Flexibility
Optical sorters can be used for different varieties of Tea and can be adjusted for different sorting needs, making them versatile tools in Tea processing.
Reduced Waste
Efficient sorting helps reduce waste by ensuring that only genuinely defective materials are removed, while maximizing the amount of good product.
Data Collection and Analysis
Modern optical sorting systems can collect valuable data about the waste stream, such as composition and contamination levels, aiding in process optimization and regulatory compliance.
Decreased Environmental Impact
By increasing the amount and quality of recycled materials, optical sorters contribute to reduced reliance on virgin resources, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and a smaller environmental footprint for waste management operations.
Enhanced Product Safety
By removing contaminated grains or foreign objects, optical sorters help prevent potential health hazards, contributing to safer products.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do MEYER sorters handle the removal of contaminants such as sticks or insects?
MEYER sorters effectively remove contaminants such as sticks or insects thanks to advanced AI deep learning algorithms. These systems precisely detect defects that differ in shape and color from the desired product fraction. The contaminants are then removed using Maglev air ejectors, which ensure accurate and efficient rejection of unwanted elements.
How quickly do MEYER optical sorters process tea leaves?
MEYER optical sorters from the KR series, designed for sorting light fractions, have a processing capacity ranging from 40 to 80 kg/h of input material. The performance of the device depends on several factors, such as the level of contamination in the material, its structure, and the cleanliness requirements for the final product. For more contaminated batches, the sorting process may take more time to ensure the desired quality. MEYER sorters are flexible and allow for settings adjustments to meet specific production needs. This enables optimal efficiency, even for a variety of materials.
Can the settings of MEYER sorters be adjusted to meet specific quality requirements for different types of tea?
Yes, at MEYER, we tailor the settings of our sorters to meet the specific quality requirements of different types of tea. Before preparing an offer, we always conduct tests on the material provided by the client to precisely determine production needs. Our service team programs the devices to ensure optimal adjustment for the type of material being sorted and the quality requirements. This way, each sorting process is carefully customized to meet the client’s expectations.
